ANSWER
Public Health Policy Meeting Approval
Subject and Focus
The public policy meeting’s theme was “Healthcare for All.” During it, Michael Lighty, the director of public policy for National Nurses United and the California Nurses Association, explained the Healthy California Act (SB 562) to the citizens of Nevada City. The Act, compared to Medicare for all, ensures that every citizen of California will receive comprehensive healthcare services (“Healthy California Act,” 2017). A further benefit of the Act is that it allows people to contact any health care providers and services they choose. Services for maintaining citizens’ physical and mental health and services for diagnosis and treatment will all be covered benefits.
The Act also guarantees that all required services, hospital stays (including daycare, home health care, hospice, etc.), and surgeries are available to the public. Therefore, the public policy gathering gave citizens all the information required to apply SB 562, the Healthy California Act. A panel of policy experts and healthcare professionals also joined Mr. Lighty to respond to queries from the public (YubaNet, 2017). Such gatherings are crucial to holding because they provide the community with insightful information about implementing current or upcoming policies, empowering them with the knowledge they need to meet their healthcare needs and requirements.
The Nevada Theatre, also known as Nevada Theater Cedar Theater, is a historic theater in the heart of Nevada City, California, where the public policy discussion was held. The Nevada Theatre is noteworthy because it is the oldest theater structure on the United States’ West Coast.
